Is it ok to give my baby a different brand of sample formula that I have as long as it contains the same thing

his regular formula contains? He is currently on Good Start Supreme Dha and Ara with iron. I have some similac and infamil sample that contain the same thing. Is it safe to give to him. He just turned 2 months on Wenesday

Answer:
if you are going to change formulas, try to give it in smaller amounts to check if he tolerates the new formula your giving him.. even though they contain the same components, there are still different things added like the sugar content..
it does not have the exact same thing. but in a pinch it probably won't hurt any. each formula contains different amounts of the ingrediants so a change could cause gas, constipation or nothing at all. personally i would wait until he's a bit older to do this. if he's doing fine on good start i would stick with this until he's at least 4 months and can handle changes better. but as i said if it's in a pinch, it's better than nothing, i've been there, lol.
its okay to try different formula's but when you do you'll notice the babys poo will change it might get runny or like my babys poo turn grey, its ok to try diff. just dont do it all the time find one and try an stick with it,
For feeding the baby,it's not important how expensive the milk sometimes the baby doesn't like it and it's not fit for that.That's what happen to my baby i choose the best milk that i can give to him but he doesn't like it and remenber the baby very sensitive and you have to be careful for everything make sure.But similac is ok.
i think changing might give your baby belly ache and a bit of the runs
It is probably safe, but I would not switch. Babies have very delicate digestions and there may be some ingredients that are different from his usual formula. Stick with what you have been using.
